McDonald's & Hip Slang

Seems they need to do more homework before more marketing to the young, urban demographic.

[&:]Oh my.......
Is that for real? If so, is it because nobody knew, or is it on purpose just to cause a shock?

**P.S. I thought of at least a half-dozen bad jokes here, but chose to restrain myself!

No, it's real. It was displayed at ESPN.com recently, and apparently McDonald's didn't know what they were doing.

As one blogger put it: "I wouldn't eat it, let alone have sex with it."

Actually, for the "urban" demographic, thats pretty accurate.

McDonald's sales have been slumping for years. They're grasping at straws.

Not only has their quality gone down, their prices have gone through the roof as compared to other fast food chains.

The best fast food for value and service (in my opinion) is still:

Burger King
Taco Bell

Id hit it??????????

Well I guess times have changed. I alway thought "hit it" ment something completely different and not what you would want to do to a hamburger.

Yeah it still means that, but the marketing execs at McDonalds aren't too keen on slang...suprise

Ignorance champion, IMO, is still McCormick Spices out of Baltimore. Twenty five years ago, they marketed a new line of "Mexican Spices", and as a spokesperson/symbol, created a character named "Tio Sancho". Incest didn't prove popular or profitable, and sales were absolutely dismal. Here in South Texas young people laughed their asses off, and older folks were properly scandalized. Who ever named the line had no idea of the Spanish language, or slang terms in it.

Actually,

This could just be the 2005 version of that liver scene in Portnoy's Complaint.
